5-94 A flat plate is used to seal an opening in a large water (p = 1000 kg/m) tank as shown in Fig. P5-92. If the opening has the cross section shown in Fig. P5-924, deter- mine the magnitude of the resultant force R exerted on the plate by the water pressure and the location of the center of pressure with respect to the bottom of the opening if d = 10 m and h=1 m.
